RIP: Standup Icon George Carlin [ComedyCentric.com - Sitcom Central]

Translate Into:

George CarlinCounterculture comedian George Carlin passed away on Sunday, June 22, at the age of 71 due to heart failure.

Idolized by legions for his brutally honest and sarcastic comedy that cut through the crap of society and politics, Carlin was also well-known for his dexterity with words, as evidenced by his (in)famous monologue “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” from the 1972 album Class Clown.

The native New Yorker, a four-time Grammy winner for his spoken comedy albums and five-time Emmy nominee for his comedy concerts, was also the author of three books, as well as the first host of Saturday Night Live and the star of an impressive fourteen comedy specials on cable’s HBO.

Survived by his second wife Sally Wade, and one daughter, Kelly Carlin McCall, Carlin will be sorely missed for his obvious talent, originality, and cutting sense of black humor.

A video of his groundbreaking monologue “Seven Words” follows.
